Thursday 28 Sept is or Astronomy night with Rea Valley. We are attempting to find some dark sky so heading deep into Rea-Valley-Land! Whilst we can be sure of dark skies, I'm not so sure about clear skies... but hey! It will be a night hike anyway! The most important thing is to bring waterproofs so as to scare away the clouds (if you leave them at home the clouds will know and come to get us...)
Bring cameras too for 'photography without the photons' - we'll see what we can see! I'll bring a big scope and we'll use it if we can. Saturn and the Moon are the top targets at the moment.
Meet at Large Lay-by above Stiperstones village – (on corner about 1 mile from Stiperstones Inn) Grid Ref SO 356 997. Bring binoculars telescopes etc. Warm clothes, waterproofs and good footwear and headtorch etc. If cloudy we will do a group walk.
Alan is coming along with his Explorers and a large telescope. We can get up a “green lane” with his Landrover to get up high with his telescope.
Meet at 7.30pm, finish at 9.30pm at same place.
I will aim to leave my house around 6:45 and will have half a dozen seats spare if that helps with transport - getting back around 10:00pm.
